Sarah Silverman - Jesus Is Magic

The film comprises Sarah Silverman's performance before a live audience interwoven with stylish musical numbers and backstage intrigue. Comedians Bob Odenkirk and Brian Posehn also make appearances along with Silverman's band, The Silver Men. Known as one of the funniest and most provocative people in comedy, Silverman has been compared to the legendary Lenny Bruce. Despite the current political climate, she takes on such pitch-black topics as September 11th, unwanted body hair and the Holocaust and spins them into decidedly un-PC comedic gold.

    Painful

    Does anybody find this girl funny? One of the unfunniest and most painful things I have ever sat through.

    Nowhere near as clever as she thinks

    This is a sparodically amusing stand-up show which has a handfull of great lines (see review above) mixed with a seemingly endless list of references to genitals and sex. She is indeed attacking taboos and lazy thinking and I love that type of comedy but the problem with Silverman is that she just isn't funny enough.

    To see the best of her, check out 'I'm F***ing Matt Damon' on YouTube. A sketch which, sadly, this dvd cannot live up to.

    Also, her voice will get on your nerves after half an hour.

    The show was directed by Liam Lynch who hit the Top Ten with 'United States Of Whatever' in 2002, fact-fans.
